Poll: What do you think is worse?

Since I'm taking an RGC class (Race, Gender, Culture) this year in high school, I'm being exposed to a lot, a lot, A LOT of racism. We saw American History X stretched out in three days (made sure the door was closed, LOL)

Now here's what I'm thinking of asking you.

Which is worse?

1) A blatantly racist person who doesn't hide it, even if what they believe isn't logical (like "Jews are the spawn of Eve and Satan" .. like, WTF?)

2) A "subtly" racist person who may not even know they're racist but try to use "logic" or generalizations to justify what they believe (like "Black people just don't care about their community. Look at all of the theft and murder that happens in the inner cities." or something like that)

What are your opinions?

BQ: Have you seen American History X? If yes, thoughts? Did you think it got the idea that hate is really, really bad across? (What an understatement of a question, LOL)

BQ2: (Americans only. Everyone else can put N/A for this one)

1. Go to this website: http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map

2. Find your state

3. What hate groups live in/near your place of residence? Did you know that these hate groups lived so close to you?

If you answer all three, you're 3x more likely to get the 10 points :3

    Both of them are just as bad. My whole entire family are extremely racist and it infuriates me so much. They're not even ashamed of being racist. In this day and age it confuses me

    BQ; no I haven't seen American History X.

    Is it being racist to point out the proportions of criminals by race, even when it IS true?
